The Role of the Governors
The School Governors work in partnership with the school's senior leadership team in making financial, staffing and curriculum decisions and meet termly.

There are three sub-committees - Finance, Standards and Curriculum, and People and Environment which also meet regularly to work on particular aspects of school life.

The People and Environment Committee oversees the following issues - Health and Safety, Buildings, Equality and Diversity, Child Protection and Safeguarding, Admissions, Behaviour, Attendance, Emergency planning, Anti- Bullying, and Access for people with disabilities.

The Standards and Curriculum Committee oversees the following issues - all subject policies and Schemes of Work, Health Education, Sex Education, Drugs Education, Collective Worship, Multicultural Education, Special Needs, and Assessment and Marking.

The Governing Body promotes policies that help create a safe environment and happy atmosphere conducive to learning and to provide the best education possible in line with the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and National Curriculum for all children.

Governors take an active part in the life of the school where possible and as appropriate. Individual Governors are linked to a particular year group and aspect of school improvement in which they take a special interest.
The Governing Body endeavours to keep parents informed of decisions throughout the year.

A folder containing the current minutes of the Governing Body is available for parents to view in school.
